FRIED EGGROLLS

FRIED EGGROLLS



1 head of cabbage, sliced
1 onion
1 green bell pepper
3 tbs soy sauce
3 tbs teriyaki sauce
2 tbs brown sugar
2 tbs vegetable oil
salt pepper
1 pkg egg roll wrappers
vegetable oil for frying
2 tbs water

In large sauce pan heat oil, add onion and bell pepper, cook till tender. Add sliced cabbage. Once cabbage cooks down add in salt, pepper, and sauces. Once most all liquid add cooked out take off heat.

Take egg roll wrapper and line edges with water so they will stick when rolled. Stuff with the cabbage mixture. Fry in vegetable oil at 350 degrees. I fry them until golden brown.


*I just made up this recipe one evening several years ago and I've used it ever since. I know it's not exactly how one should make egg rolls but it works for me. I would like to one day add shredded carrots like you're supposed to but I never have any. haha There is usually a ton leftover but I add chicken and just turn it into a stirfry to serve with the fried rice.

EGGROLL DIPPING SAUCE:

Ingredients:

3 tablespoons soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder

Directions:

Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth. Distribute in small dipping dishes.

* I believe I added a little brown sugar to sweeten the sauce and simmered it on the stove.

FRIED RICE

FRIED RICE

INGREDIENTS:

4-6 cups cooked brown rice, chilled
2 tbs Sesame Oil
2 tbs vegetable oil
1/2-1 cup frozen peas
1 medium onion
3 eggs beaten
4 tbs Soy Sauce
salt
pepper

DIRECTIONS:

Heat the sesame and vegetable oil on medium high heat, add onion, cook just till onion is translucent. Add frozen peas. Add cooked rice, salt, pepper. In separate pan I scramble the 3 eggs. Add to the rice. Add soy sauce and take off heat.

*I scramble my egg separate from my rice because when I've tried scrambling it in the same pan as rice the rice gets really gooey. I sometimes add ham or chicken. I like my made up recipe as does the rest of my family but it never is like the Chinese restaurant fried rice. Something is missing? I've tried practically all the recipes that can be found online because fried rice has always been one of my favorite dishes. They are all similar to the one above just varied on the ingredients. I've tried adding Chinese 5 spice but I don't like the flavor it gives the rice so I nixed it. If anyone has other ways of making it I'd love to hear and try out!
